Summary

In this week's episode in our ongoing series on being a healing and positive voice in civil dialogues, we explore the concept of building community across differences and the need for repentance, curiosity, and genuine love in our interactions. We take on the false narrative of win-lose scenarios and the importance of seeking mutual understanding and reconciliation. Even though it may make us uncomfortable, we highlight the need to let go of the desire to be right as we continually choose to see the humanity in others and find our shared interests. We also touch on the power of forgiveness and the role of faith in guiding us towards a better way of relating to one another.
